Chapter 303 The Wall of Heaven!
"Tianbi City?"

Li Xia hesitated for a moment before asking, "Do you have a map?"

"Yes, yes!" The old village chief turned around and went inside the house. He rummaged through a box for a long time and finally pulled out a piece of cloth.

The map on it is drawn with simple strokes and looks quite old.

"This is a treasure. The stone man, who was very curious about the outside world, explored many places."

The old village chief's gaze was distant and filled with nostalgia as he sighed and said:
“Our village was originally an expedition team that stopped here and settled down because they thought the scenery was beautiful.”

This is the map they left behind back then.

Li Xia took the map and frowned.
To put it simply, maps based on mountains and rivers were very common in ancient China. For example, county maps and city maps attached to local historical records are basically of this type.

However, this type of map has a major problem: without a scale and accurate measurements, the error will continue to grow.

Aside from providing a general overview, it has no practical applications.

First, take a picture of the map to save it. When you arrive at Tianbi City, you should have a more accurate map.

So, they still landed on Tianbi City.

Perhaps realizing that his treasured map was useless to Li Xia, the old village chief lowered his head slightly, feeling somewhat ashamed.

He thought for a moment, then said decisively:

"Boom boom, you take the master to Tianbi City! When you get there, introduce the master to Baozuan. I, the old man, will vouch for him myself."

He took out a jade-like stone from his waist and reluctantly rubbed it in his hand.

After a stone man dies, he can turn into mud or stone. This piece of jade is the result of Gangyan's wife's death.

It is also what the granite cherishes most.

"Here, this is the token. That kid Baozuan will know what's going on when he sees it."

Honghong carefully held the stone in both hands and said in a simple and honest voice, "Grandpa, you gave Grandma to me. But what about the village?"
And Lika"

grandmother??
Li Xia, Aowu, and Heitan all turned their gazes to the small stone—it was actually their grandmother!
Gangyan ignored their gazes and instead raised his hand to tap Honghong's head.

"Are you stupid? Griggs lost a whole hundred men here, do you think they won't come back for revenge?"

The old village chief stood up, walked outside, and punched the clock on the door heavily.

"when!"

The melodious sound of bells echoed throughout the village, lingering for a long time.

Gangyan turned to look at the stunned Honghong and said meaningfully:
"We're leaving too, heading to Tianbi City. You go first, we'll follow!"

The 'hunting ground' set up by the Griggans wasn't very big. It wasn't until the young stone man named Honghong set off with him that the area was cleared up.

Li Xia then realized that it was only a two-day journey to Tianbi City.

The stone man was incredibly fast and had exceptional endurance, consuming several kilograms of high-purity ore over a hundred kilometers.

Li Xia even suspected that they might have super-miniature nuclear reactors inside their bodies.

Otherwise, how could a few stones support such a huge consumption?

Based on their speed, they estimated that the distance from Shicun to Tianbicheng was less than 300 kilometers.

At the speed of an anti-gravity motorcycle, it would only take two or three hours.

"We're almost there, sir! Do you see that mountain in the distance?"

After the initial excitement of riding a motorcycle for the first time, Honghong quickly quieted down again.

Furthermore, a speeding motorcycle is not suitable for chatting; as soon as you open your mouth, the whistling wind will fill it.

Just as they were about to reach their destination, Honghong leaned on Li Xia's shoulder and roared loudly.

As the ignition was gradually released, Li Xia stopped the car, gazing quietly into the distance with a sense of profound awe.

The horizon suddenly twisted into a giant, inky wave.

At first, Li Xia thought it was a mirage rising from the horizon, until the clouds began to churn in front of that shadow, and then she realized that it was a mountain piercing the sky.

The black rock face cuts through half the sky, and the clouds and mist resemble a white ribbon wrapped around the mountainside.

The mountain range stretched out in the field of vision like a dark blue tsunami, extending to both sides beyond the horizon.

At this moment, as the sun sets, the setting sun sweeps over the highest mountain peak, and golden-red waterfalls of light flow along the folds of the mountain, only to be cut off when they reach the mountainside.

The swirling clouds there tore the light into tiny pieces of gold foil; the Wall of Heaven, as its name suggests, is a wall that reaches the sky!
"This mountain must be at least 20,000 meters high, right?"

"Meow!"

Even the charcoal expert, who had seen many wonders, couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

"Look, that area at the foot of the mountain is Tianbi City!"

Honghong pointed to a blurry shadow in the distance and said excitedly:

"My lord, once you meet Brother Baozuan, he will definitely help you get rid of the mineral shortage, and you will surely grow tall and strong with a beautiful complexion!"

Li Xia: ?
After asking a few more questions, Li Xia finally realized that the stone man had mistaken him for the malnourished stone man at birth.

During the process of nurturing a newborn, the stone person feeds the stone fetus with various stones. If the feeding is insufficient, the born stone person will have a 'light' skin color and a 'small' size, just like the person in question.

"No wonder they weren't surprised to see us, and didn't even ask us anything. They must have thought the boss was disabled!"

Aowu smacked his lips, and the stone man even took care of Li Xia's 'sensitive and fragile heart', afraid that asking questions would make this 'disabled person' feel uncomfortable.

As for why it wasn't Griggans, their criteria were simple and efficient: 'disabled people' wouldn't survive in Griggans.

They would resolutely execute any unfit members of their tribe, and Li Xia's body was far more robust than that of the Griggans.

In Honghong's words, 'Although he's disabled, his body is as hard as a rock!'

Li Xia's physical strength is already at level five, harder than ordinary iron. A modern rifle bullet hitting his body would only leave a white dot.

What could threaten him were basically the apostles' sniper rifles or special bullets.

Having resolved this minor question, Li Xia turned the switch again, but at a much slower speed.

This is a good opportunity to inquire about Tianbi City and gather some information.

The stone-headed Hong Hong had no doubts about Li Xia's question.

In his view, Li Xia must have been a wanderer since childhood, and his parents must have been kidnapped by the despicable Griggans.

Otherwise, even if the parents are not around, the stone people will take good care of all the stone fetuses and will never let them be malnourished just because they are not their own children.

Therefore, it is normal for him not to understand many things, and he has an obligation to let the stone warrior who saved everyone understand his tribe.

When it comes to introducing things, they can talk endlessly.

Tianbi City, the last fortress of the Stone Men, the land of origin.

This is the first place the Stone Men settled in this vast world after crossing the Heavenly Wall Mountains, and it is also their soul.

The original Tianbi City had no walls. When the stone people were on the verge of death and felt that their days were numbered, they would return here.

The power of the life core is finally unleashed, forming a hard stone like a monument.

Over time, these numerous steles, layer upon layer, formed an impregnable city wall.

"Actually, the city walls weren't that high at first. Later, we fought with the Griggans, and they fought all the way to Skywall City."

Many warriors, before dying, anchored themselves to the city walls, hoping their bodies would become part of the wall and block the Griggans.

The booming sound was very deep:

"So the walls were built higher and higher, and became stronger and stronger. In the end, even the War Treemen of the Gregan could not shake the walls of Skywall City in the slightest."

Li Xia listened quietly as he walked towards the city. Tianbi City was the most peculiar city Li Xia had ever seen; everything he saw was made of stone.

The colorful stones form this unique stone city.

Perhaps because the stone figures were all very tall, their buildings were also quite large.

However, their lifestyle was very primitive, which was related to the living habits of the stone people.

The development of science and technology and productivity stems from the need for survival, but the stone people had little or no such need.

This has led them to live in a relatively primitive state.

The wars and bullying of the Griggans, to some extent, accelerated the progress of the Stone Golems.

Therefore, what Li Xia saw was a special city similar to that of the Bronze Age.

The stone figures on the street are silent, and they are used to facing the Griggs watchtowers that are scattered throughout the street with such faces.

This is a condition for preserving the Stone City, and also a kind of invisible deterrent.

The arrogant Griggans had always known that the Stone Men wanted to rebel.

But they didn't care; their overwhelming numerical superiority made the Greganes fearless.

Just as they didn't care, when they first arrived in this world and were still very weak, it was the stone people who showed kindness and helped them survive.

"My lord, once we enter Tianbi City, do not speak. Be careful and follow me!"

Honghong had somehow switched to a poker face and said in a low voice.

Li Xia nodded, and then simply took out an optical camouflage cloth from his personal space and covered himself with it.

This optical stealth fabric is remarkably effective at low speeds, providing excellent concealment against conventional vision and infrared light.

However, at higher levels, it becomes useless against a growing number of special visions, such as Li Xia's own energy vision, as well as the Byakugan and Sharingan, which can be seen very 'intuitively'.

However, bullying the less-than-enthusiastic Gregans shouldn't be a problem.

"This...this is a treasure that the master found outside?"

Honghong stared wide-eyed in surprise, a hint of envy in his eyes. If he had such a treasure, his sister Mika wouldn't have to risk her life to investigate the Griggans' movements.

He was always worried that his sister would encounter an accident.

"Go ahead, you can go as you please, I can keep up."

So Honghong obediently walked ahead, weaving back and forth through the alleys between the tall buildings.

Finally, it stopped at a place with what looked like an earthen-yellow wall.

He couldn't help but ask in a low voice:
"grown ups?"

"Is this here?"

Li Xia suddenly appeared, handed the cloak to Heitan, and stared at the wall.

"You really kept up!"

Honghong chuckled happily, then stretched out his fist and gently tapped the wall in a certain rhythm.

Just as he finished knocking, a pair of eyes suddenly appeared on the wall, squinted at him for a moment, and then muttered softly:

"Oh, it's Boom Boom!"

His eyes narrowed even more as he lowered his gaze, and he said slowly:
"And who is this malnourished little guy?"

Li Xia, Aowu, Heitan:
"He's a warrior!" Boom puffed out his chest and said proudly.

"One man defeated the slave-hunting gang and kicked the centurion of the bad seed, Grigg, to death with a single kick."

He needed help, and it was the village chief who asked me to bring him here.

His eyes thought for a moment, then blinked.
"Alright. Anyway, I can only decide whether or not to let you in. As for whether I can help you, that's up to the others."

Suddenly, a crack appeared in the wall, and then it moved on its own, revealing a dark entrance.

Li Xia then realized that the thing blocking the cave entrance was actually a rather old-looking stone figure. He was very old and had once been very strong.

Now it has a petrified luster, a sign that only appears in stone that is about to die of old age.

Once they had all crawled into the opening, the aged stone man went back, wedged his body into the opening, and slowly closed his eyes.

It's like a real stone door.

The passage was not dark; on the contrary, every so often, a glowing stone was embedded in the path.

The light wasn't intense, but its gentle glow was enough to illuminate the path ahead.

They walked along the quiet passageway, where it would have been easy to get lost without Humble's guidance.

Then, after pushing open another door hidden beside the passageway, the view suddenly opened up.

This is a room of about 100 square meters, with several rough stone tables cluttered with miscellaneous items and stone slabs covered with patterns.

Several stone figures were whispering amongst themselves when they saw the newcomer and exclaimed with surprise and delight:

"Boom! What are you doing here? Didn't you say you were going back to marry your Rika?"

Boom shook his head: "The Griggan slave-hunting group attacked the village."

"What?!" A stone figure with gleaming skin stood up abruptly, slamming his hand on the table in shock and anger, and asked:

"How's the village? How's Grandpa Gangyan?"

"Fortunately, this Insmart (warrior) saved the village and slaughtered all the Griggans!"

Honghong stepped aside and introduced Li Xia:

"Grandpa Gangyan asked me to bring him here. He needs help to understand the Griggan's defenses and sacred sites."

As he spoke, he carefully took out the jade stone that Gangyan had given him, held it in his palm, and handed it over:

“This was given to me by my grandfather. He said it was a token. They also set off from the village, saying they were going to move to Tianbi City.”

Baozuan wiped his hands, and carefully extended both hands to take the jade. He stared at the jade in a daze, and his glassy eyes slowly became moist.

After a long while, Baozuan finally nodded:

"It's good to move here, it's good to move here, it's safe here."

He turned around and bowed deeply to Li Xia, a movement that was very strenuous for the stone man.

Therefore, a deep bow is only performed when expressing very profound emotions.

"Thank you, thank you for saving my most cherished family."

I will do my best to provide any assistance you require!

Li Xia waved his hand:

"Don't mention it. I have only one goal: to steal the Griggs Relic."

The room suddenly fell silent, and the stone figures stared at Li Xia, their eyes gradually widening.

Everyone in the house was shocked!
